HI,
In spite of my opinion that I stated above about moving on to newer OS's like Vista, I still own two laptops that run XP Pro. They will remain XP machines. It would be silly for me to change them to Vista since they run XP so well.
I was a very early XP user. I started a few months before SP-1 was released. So, XP is really home for me. But, I like Vista very much. I did not know this when I built my new computer and decided to install Vista. It was a risk. Now, I'm glad I did.
Please don't misunderstand me. I really like XP. It's a great OS. But purchasing a new XP is not an issue for me; it won't happen again. However, I certainly will miss MS support for XP when that comes about. I assume the 3rd party software companies will continue to support XP for a long time since there will be a large customer base. But it will gradually dwindle and so will the software. All of my new application software will definitely be Vista (and XP) compatible.
